I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
Till then it will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
Hope I live to tell the secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again?
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once I know the love she gives
Love like that you could never see
It shines inside you can't take that from me
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
Till then it will burn inside of me
If I ran away I'd never have the strength to go very far
How will they hear the beating of my heart?
Will it grow cold, the secret that I hide, will I grow old?
How will they hear, how will they learn, how will they know?
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
Till then it will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You've kept it hidden well
Hope I live to tell the secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again?
